Nobody's Nosier Than a Cat

Summary: great rhymes and cool vocab
Review: This is going to sound very inarticulate, but I'm not sure that there's any other way to say this: the words in this books are just cool. Some are jazzed-up and made-up to fit the bouncing cool cat rhythm of the book. The illustrations are bold and the array of cats depicted display the wide true range of feline personality. Which is what the book's about, really: feline personality, which all cat lovers know is wide and varied. They're nosy, cozy, lovey and rotten, aloof and adoring and the many wonderful opposing forces that make cats fabulous, and this book depicts that in a fun way. Best of all, this is a book that loves and revels in word play. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but when the right words are put together they are far more evocative than any illustration.
